Bless-Sanctuary/Heal
Duration: special Range: special Marker: roll of string, marking ribbon, etc. and a strip of red cloth Description: Bless has two distinct functions. First, it can be used to consecrate a 10’ radius area as ‘holy ground’. Do this by placing the spell marker around the area you wish to bless. After the spell is cast, attach a strip of red cloth to the area marker to indicate that the spell is active. A blessed area lasts for 5 minutes. Undead and spirits cannot pass into the area. If used as a touch spell upon undead or spirits, bless will cause one BP of damage. The second use of bless is to heal a character. As a touch spell, it will heal one BP of damage. A target cannot surpass their original total number of BP.

The target will also be subject to other bad luck, which requires a bit of role-playing on the target’s part, and possibly even from other players in the area. ted or magikal items, scrolls (written in magik script), and magikal potions and powders (alchemist only). Decipher magik does not allow the caster to utilize the spells out of another’s book, but does allow one to know what is in that spell book. Once an object is read, the spell need not be cast again to read the same object. If there is not a marker or OOG information tag explaining the magik being deciphered, the caster must either learn the details from the owner of the item or find a GM. Say Aloud “Hail to you, Might ones of old From ancient times till now your splendor endures Listen to our words; you will find them sweet Your children pray to you here Never more will the altars be unattended Never again the time of waiting Your children look to you once again”
Detect Magik

The caster will detect magikal items, spell area effects, people under the influence of a spell, and all spell-casters. All mages and visible magikal items will glow with a magikal aura. If a magikal item is hidden from view, the area in which it is concealed will glow with a magikal aura. Suppress aura will counter detect magik only when cast upon a spell caster (see suppress aura). There is no way to counter detect magik when it is cast to diagnose magikal items or spell effects. Say Aloud “Dragons of the Covenant, grant me Magik of Vision and Vision of Magik”

The caster must touch the target, and speak aloud: “Drain life once, drain life twice”, etc. For each number that they reach, the target loses that many BP and the caster gains them. The target cannot be drained of more points than they have, nor can the caster gain more BP than their original total. While the caster can only absorb up to their limit, they can continue to drain life until the target reaches zero BP. The spell ends when contact with the target is broken. The spell in no way hinders or binds the target, who is free to act.

Persons inside the haven cannot be physically or magikally pushed, pulled, smacked, or otherwise removed against their will from the protection. Someone inside a haven can, however, voluntarily leave the spell simply by breaking contact with the caster. Once haven is cast, other people may not join the protection. The group within the haven is free to speak, move, and otherwise interact with the world.

Herbalist light potions cannot be dispelled.

Since the spell is being cast around an item, no character or living being can be contained within the spell’s ward effect. This spell cannot be cast upon worn items (e.g. armor, clothing, etc.).
Dispel Magik has no effect.
I cast the Circle round and round
Shadow of Moon Upon the ground
I cast the circle round about
A world within; a world without
Liturgy (General snippets that can be used in game as a Disciple of the Dragons of the Covenant)
Surround by all the numinous being of earth and sky and water
I pray with confidence, for I know your help is certain
I place ourselves at your service,
Gods of the people
Open us to your wishes
Make us a conduit for your will
Bringing forth your desires in the human world
This goes before me, opening the door
Key to the gods, be my way-shower
Riding the sound of the deep drumming
Come to me as I call to you
Come to the rhythm of the heartfelt pounding
Come to me as I call you here
Gods of Old, Long have you waited
Seemingly forgotten and outgrown
Waiting with the patience born of wisdom
For your children to remember you
And to come to you with open hearts
Awake, come, that day is here.
Once more, we pour libation
Once more, the old songs rise
Once more, the dance steps are traced
Once more, your names are spoken
Never more will the altars be unattended
Never again the time of waiting
Your children look to you once again
And pledge to you their faith
Hail to you, Might ones of old
From ancient times till now your splendor endures
We, your children, call out to you again;
As in the childhood of our race, we acknowledge our debts
Deities of light and deities of darkness
Both gods and goddesses: we praise you
Not forgetting one, not leaving any out,
We send our prayers to all of you
Listen to our words; you will find them sweet
Your children pray to you here
Accept my hospitality, Holy Ones
Be my guests at this feast
Renew the Ancient bonds
Continually recreated
As I give, so will you
For that is how true friends act
Great Company of Gods
I welcome you
I call to the holy ones with open hands
Asking that they come, that they grant me their presence
Might and shining ones, worth of worship
I stand before you with welcoming words
Come to me that we might feast together again
With this small flame, I send a message
It is my burning beacon fire
May you see it, shining ones
And draw near to me
Filled with the holy power the gods send to those they love
I rise up in ecstasy, taken by them to the land of blessings
Fill me, carry me, lift me in glory;
Welcome me to your home
I stand here on the summit of your high mountain
And think of you
Surrounded by the sky, lifted up into the sky itself,
The awesome clarity of your focused vision comes closer to me
And I am more aware, myself, of your law's urgings.
Lord of all that is right, of all that is just,
Of all that should be;
Judge and king of the world, or all who live and all that is
Advise me; make the right path open beneath my feet,
Make my eyesight clear, that I may always see as far
As I do from the top of this mountain of yours
Long is the hair of the Star Goddess
And long is the night in which I wait for her,
Lost in the expanse of limitless space
Containing an infinite number of stars,
Filled with emptiness
I cast myself into her measureless darkness
Confident that she will come if only I wait
Though the night may be long, I will still wait for her
Offering my patience in sacrifice to win her presence
Come to us in the fire on our hearth
Consume the logs gladly
Come to our home, Brighid of Protection;
Consume the logs gladly
Triple fire shining in the hearth of our home,
Brighid, healer Brighid, to you our worship,
To you our hearts calling
Triple flames burning in the hearth of our Strength
Brighid, Mighty Brighid, to you our worship
What is done in the night,
You see it
What is done in the day,
You see it
Who can hide from you
Who are found in all things
Where would we hide from you
Who are found in all things
Why would we hide from you
Whose love pours out on all things?
I think now of the ancient time, when your worship first was established. It has been a long time now since your worship was celebrated as it should be, with processions in the market places, with games to unite the scattered tribes, with hospitality granted to strangers in your name. Throughout the lonely times, you have waited patiently, in the sure foreknowledge that the night would end. See now, on the horizon; the light of Dawn begins to creep over the edge of the world! We need not wait much longer before the Sun will rise again and shine down once more on a world in which your worship is no longer neglected.
Through the Long night, we have kept your faith; in secret or in disguise we have performed the sacred acts. Sometimes, even unbeknownst to us, we have kept ancient lore alive. Now we hope to return to the light, to practice your ways openly and without fear, drawing the thoughts of others to you. In the backs of our people's minds, they have remembered you too. Now we will show them what they have forgotten.
This drink pours out, even as your bounty pours out, what I do here is only an image of your greater generosity
I pour out libations to the ancient High Ones,
I make my offerings to those who should be worshipped
You are a bull, and greatly to be praised,
worth of sacrifice, lord of life and death
You are a ram, and greatly to be praised,
You are a stallion, and greatly to be praised
Worth of sacrifice, lord of life and death
You are a boar, and greatly to be praised
Worth of sacrifice, lord of life and death
You who are the sacrifice
You who are the sacrificer,
You who are the lord of life and death
He is a bull in the field of the gods,
Ruling the herd:
Worthy of worship, worthy of praise
He is a stag in the forest of the spirits
Ruling the wilds:
Worthy of worship, worthy of praise
He is a king in the city of the Ancestors
Ruling the word
Worthy of worship, worthy of praise
The Lord of Forests is the lord of the city
King of gods, spirits, and Ancestors,
King of people in this world and the next:
Worth of worship, worthy of praise
You are the Hunter
You are the hunted
You are the killer
You are the killed
Forever going away
Forever coming back
Completing the circle
Of life and death
Spirits of the Darkness, You are my friends;
Though the night's blackness stands as a wall
You will show me the way through
My guides through shadows
My protectors from all terrors
You are journeying across the dividing water that lies between this world and the next
Carried away be the ferry man on your way
Look ahead of you, do not look behind
Look ahead of you, where your destiny lies
Do you see them? They are there, ahead of you on the other shore
Slowly, they become visible to you;
The shining ones appear slowly out of the concealing mists
Clearly they appear to you, though hidden from our eyes
Go to them, they welcome you
Go to them, not stopping for farewells
Holy Ones in the world Beyond,
Open wide your arms to receive this one who is journeying to you
Make him a home, bring him to rest
(Funeral)
Go your way to the land of the Ancestors,
Where they wait for you with open arms
There on the edge between this world and the next
See; there they stand
Ancestral spirits, welcome this one
To the place where we all must go
The Fire of Milgroos is the flame in my heart
Part the mists and guide me through
(Magical Enhancement)
Powerful Song of Radiant Light
Weave us the web that spins the night
Web of Stars that holds the dark
Weave us the earth that feeds the spark
Chant:
Strand by strand, hand over hand
Thread by thread we weave our web
(Ward)
I cast the Circle round and round
Shadow of Moon Upon the ground
I cast the circle round about
A world within; a world without
